Cambridge, Mass.—Now we have the truth about rain making! Prof. Alexander McAdie, climatology expert and director of the Blue Hill observatory at Harvard, offers an article to this effect in the current issue of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin. Clouds can be taken Into the laboratory and studied these days. It is the forced draft that brings the rain, the professor says, and that It would take considerable lime to tell of natural rain makers. A .great cause is the mountains. “Experiments now In progress by Bancroft and Warren under the auspices of the air service,” the article says, “indicate the possibility of clarifying cloudy atmospheres by spraying with electrified sand from above. It seems feasible. “Fog, whether In the streets of London, or on the banks of Newfoundland, or over flying fields, is essentially a wall built of ionized, nucleated, vapor varnished bricks. Finds Fog Elements. Quite a remarkable wall, too, for while it often rests on the ground it can spring into the air and float away. And this without the slightest noise or damage. It never stands still and Is always falling and fading and yet at the same time rebuilding. A thimbleful of fog stuff contains about a thou--sand bricks; and all these squeezed tightly together will make only a small drop of rain. “Nature wrings the clouds and makes rain by pushing moisture-laden air upwards, or else sidewise into another current decidedly colder. It Is the forced draft which counts. The simplest case of upward push Is the shower of summer. The surface air and vapor is lifted a thousand meters and the expansion, cooling, coalescing, and capturing of comparatively large dust particles produce a cumulus cloud, the cloud that makes one think of a colossal helping of celestial ice cream. The cream tint soon gives way to a dirty gray and this in turn darkens Into the brown black base of a cumulo-nimbus ready to spill lightning to another cloud or dart It earthward. 1 Noah Up in the Air. “Few university men realize that Noah was considerably up In the air at the end of the big flood. Yea, If he wag near the top of Ararat he was a mile farther up than one who stands on the top of Pike’s peak. Some flood."

Bird Builds Nest Under M&il Coach New York.—Wb — — keen and Nod one nign m out in a woden shoe,” their voyage was not one bit as adventurous as the daily Journey of 75 miles taken by five of the oddest passengers that ever rode on the Philadelphia & Reeding railway. Every day at noon, standard time* a United States coach leaves New Hope, Pe. It gets to this ci^y an hour and forty-seven minutes later, stays in the Reading terminal until 8:15, standard time, then starts again for New Hope. For tan days now a mother robin At the other end of the line has waited as anxiously for that train as all the people together Ixs&rew Hope have for their mall. When the train reaches the New Hope station, Brvkeman Leon Nugent, who lives at 1642 French street, Philadelphia, sends away all the curious onlookers. Then the robin hops down from a nearby tree end disappears under the mail coach. There, on top of a warm steam valve, protected by a drip pan, Is a neet. The little mother perches on the edge and looks Inside to see If any damage has been done. For within the nest are five blue robin eggs warmed by the steam beneath, waiting the day when their shells can be broken by five little mouths. The steam valve has a little flal: surface on top that makes the nest quite safe when fastened by a few : restraining straws. If any of the straws hare been jarred loose by the ~ day*s journeying Mm. Robin has some ■j more at hand to repair the damage. When all has been fixed, she takes her place on the nest and through the :ulght wanr.f- the eggs. &o far the plan has worked well, afid the mother and the railroad have taken turns keeping the nest warm. But Brakeman Nugent Is faced with •a knotty problem. In not so long a time the nest will have five hungry .mouths to feed, and catching worms Is a precarious piece of business when ; a coach Is riding the rails. Will mother robin keep her seat on the nest during the trip and start out In search of worms when the train gets
to the terminal?
